Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Buccaneers did enough to get by: C+.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Quincy Rhodes Jr., 28 picks early at pick 15.

They will regret leaving offensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. Landing Cole that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. Job largely done: interior defensive lineman settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered.

If Quincy Rhodes Jr. and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Quincy Rhodes Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 15 they get juice off the edge, a steep price for the projection.
Pick46 Rnd2 Chris Cole
Chris Cole at the 46th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick77 Rnd3 A'Mauri Washington
A'Mauri Washington in slot 77 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick193 Rnd6 Khalil Barnes
No drama and no debate, Khalil Barnes went about where he belonged in the 193rd pick. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick229 Rnd7 Jalen Hale
Jalen Hale at pick No. 229 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
